Remarks by Al Gore May 26, 2004 As Prepared George W. Bush promised us a foreign policy with humility. Instead, he has brought us humiliation in the eyes of the world.
He promised to "restore honor and integrity to the White House." Instead, he has brought deep dishonor to our country and built a durable reputation as the most dishonest President since Richard Nixon.
Honor? He decided not to honor the Geneva Convention. Just as he would not honor the United Nations, international treaties, the opinions of our allies, the role of Congress and the courts, or what Jefferson described as "a decent respect for the opinion of mankind." He did not honor the advice, experience and judgment of our military leaders in designing his invasion of Iraq. And now he will not honor our fallen dead by attending any funerals or even by permitting photos of their flag-draped coffins.
How did we get from September 12th , 2001, when a leading French newspaper ran a giant headline with the words "We Are All Americans Now" and when we had the good will and empathy of all the world -- to the horror that we all felt in witnessing the pictures of torture in Abu Ghraib.
To begin with, from its earliest days in power, this administration sought to radically destroy the foreign policy consensus that had guided America since the end of World War II. The long successful strategy of containment was abandoned in favor of the new strategy of "preemption." And what they meant by preemption was not the inherent right of any nation to act preemptively against an imminent threat to its national security, but rather an exotic new approach that asserted a unique and unilateral U.S. right to ignore international law wherever it wished to do so and take military action against any nation, even in circumstances where there was no imminent threat. All that is required, in the view of Bush's team is the mere assertion of a possible, future threat - and the assertion need be made by only one person, the President.
More disturbing still was their frequent use of the word "dominance" to describe their strategic goal, because an American policy of dominance is as repugnant to the rest of the world as the ugly dominance of the helpless, naked Iraqi prisoners has been to the American people. Dominance is as dominance does.
Alice Gwhore is mentally ill. Profoundly.
CAUGHT ON TAPE!!! GORE'S GONE WILD!!!
Yeah, it's so cool to see him ranting like a madman. I only hope he starts campaigning for Kerry. Dean imploded as soon as Gore backed him. LOL!
You need to HEAR Algore saying this. I heard the audio and he sounded NUTTTTTTY!!! I understand the video is even more damning since someone said Algore looked like his head was about to explode. Hopefully I'll see it tonight on either O'Reilly or Hannity & Colmes.
Ironic isn't ? BTW, be forewarned, I'm gonna steal your post and send it to friends and family who will love it and to a few liberals who will stew over it. LOL
LOL!
Whatever. He's nuts.
PS..feel free to "expropriate"..I hereby forgo all royalties....(G)
I did not at that moment imagine that Bush would, in the presidency that ensued, demonstrate utter contempt for the rule of law and work at every turn to frustrate accountability...
You should put "" in the above, lest someone think these idiotic words should be credited to you.
I guess Algore can't stand the fact America's hated not for what she does but on account of what she stands for. That is what he and fellow liberals have a problem with about this country.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Contact: Christine Iverson
Washington, DC—RNC Communications Director Jim Dyke issued the following statement today in response to a speech by former Vice President Al Gore attacking President Bush.
“Al Gore served as Vice President of this country for eight years. During that time, Osama Bin Laden declared war on the United States five times and terrorists killed US citizens on at least four different occasions including the first bombing of the World Trade Center, the attacks on Khobar Towers, our embassies in East Africa, and the USS Cole.”
“Al Gore’s attacks on the President today demonstrate that he either does not understand the threat of global terror, or he has amnesia.”
Actually "wicked" gave me pause, too. Thought I might change it to refreshing or delightful. :)
Mark Levin will be on Hannity & Colmes tonight to debate the "merits" of Gore's rant.
Couldn't help but notice that he has stopped coloring his hair, stopped trying to hide his bald spot and is letting it grown long.... just like his father.
"Anybody here feel humiliated?"
Very good Question.
Actually, despite the numerous attempts at humiliation by Gore, the mainstream media and groups like Movebowels.org, I have yet to feel humiliated.
Hate orgy is a nice way to put it. What should be disconcerting to the Dems is a performance such as Gore's makes such insanity "acceptable".
I expect more of this from the Dem's (the truly insane ones).
Well AL, let me explain - they DIDN'T really meant it you putz. It was rhetoric, hollow words, nothing more.
You see AL, it's like when you're at a wake for a relative and 'everyone' comes up and says, "If you need anything, just call". However you better NOT call - ever. Because it's all baloney, people say it just to make you fell good - period. And if you ever DID call, they'd hide from you like you were a leper! Now you got it twerp.
Plus AL, you're speaking of France. FRANCE for cripes sake. They don't even help their OWN elderly relatives and you expect them to help aid us? Sheesh, no wonder you flunked out of Divinity School, you're a moron.
~~Al Gore Rant OFF~~ (for now)
